Struggles That You'll Only Understand If You've Ever Tried On A Romper

In case you didn't know, in the past couple years rompers have become all the rage.

They are pretty convenient, I must admit, and this is fine and all if you are the kind of person who that can wear a romper. Personally, I struggle to find a romper that I can rock and that fits me well. They look kind of like a dress, but, at the same time, they function as a pair of shorts. Much like a "skort" (skirt + shorts), a romper combines two garments into one, taking the fancy-ness that is a dress and the comfort that is a pair of good shorts. Rompers allow you to bare some skin in the hot summer months without having to worry about bending over too far all night and everyone seeing your underwear.

However, this is pretty much where the benefits of a romper end. The following is a list of reasons why we should just get rid of these garments all together.


1. You pull an amazing dress off the rack, only to find out that it is a romper.

This is a major first-world problem, I know. I think that I can speak for everyone, though, when I say that this is one of the biggest let-downs that life has to offer. You find the perfect dress, in the perfect color, and it's in your size, only to take it to the dressing room and see that the dress has shorts on the bottom because it wasn't a dress.


2. Going to the bathroom requires some assistance.

Maybe if you are the type of person who always goes to the bathroom with a gaggle of friends, so this isn't a problem. For me, however, I like to go to the bathroom alone and I don't want to have to ask some complete stranger to unzip me so that I can do my business.


3. Sizing is completely nonsensical.

I would consider myself of an "average" body type, maybe a little on the short side. The fact that I've found only one romper in my entire life that actually fits me and looks good is reflective of how messed up the sizing system of these pieces are. If your torso is too long, you'll be faced with a permanent wedgie. If it's too short, you'll be drowning in fabric. I'm not sure what body type you have to have to fit into some of the rompers that I've tried on, but kudos to you if you have it.


4. Rompers make you look like an adult baby.

Let's be honest, whoever first designed rompers got their inspiration from baby fashion. Rompers are basically the adult-sized version of the onesies that parents put their babies in so that they can change their diapers easily.

All problems aside, I can't deny the fact that some people look great in rompers. I'll keep on searching for my perfect romper. Until then, I'll continue my love/hate relationship with them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
